I need to set editor's content to some value on page_load from client script.
<body onload="SetButtons();" >
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
....
....

Iin SetButtons :

<script language = "javascript">

function SetButtons ()
{
var editor = <%=radEditContent.ClientID %>;
    var oArg = window.opener.GetCreativeContent();
    editor.SetHtml(oArg);
}

</script>

This works fine with Q3 2007 controls. I can't reproduce this functionalityin Q2 2008 controls.
Issues I am facing are

- var editor = $find("<%=radEditContent.ClientID%>")

in this case editor is null

or
- set_html is not recognized

Some time I get editor but set_html is not working

Any help on this please.

Hi Mohammad,

RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX is created just as the last code on the page in the Sys.Application.init MS AJAX event, which is raised after the window.onload event. That is why if you put your js code which tries to obtain a reference to RadEditor in the head tag, then the editor will be not yet created and the reference to the editor will return undefined.

This information is available in the following help article: Getting a Reference to RadEditor.


If you experience any problems, please open a support ticket and send a sample working project that demonstrates them. We will examine them and will provide guidance how to solve the issues.

Hi George,

Thank you.

Code worked when I put my function inside Sys.Application.add_load block

Sample code that works fine is:
 
<script type="text/javascript">
Sys.Application.add_load
(
 
function SetButtons ()
  {
     var editor = $find("<%=radEditContent.ClientID%>"); 
     var oArg = window.opener.GetCreativeContent();
     editor.set_html(oArg);
  }

);
</script>

Hi Mohammad,

If RadEditor with ID="RadEditor1" is defined in a user control with ID = "WebUserControl1" you can access it with the following code:

        <uc1:WebUserControl ID="WebUserControl1" runat="server" />
       
        <script type="text/javascript">
        Sys.Application.add_load
        (
        
        function()
          {
             var editor = $find("WebUserControl1_RadEditor1");
             alert(editor.get_id());
            
          }
        );
        </script>

Another way to get a reference on the client to all telerik controls on the page is to use the $telerik.radControls array, e.g.

var telerikArray = $telerik.radControls; //returns a reference to all telerik controls on the page
for (i=0;i<telerikArray.length;i++)
{
    alert(telerikArray[i].get_id());
}

i made a workaround and it worked 

    <rad:RadEditor ID="_txtSteps" runat="server" ToolbarMode="ShowOnFocus" 
                        Skin="Office2007" Editable="true" ToolsWidth="330px" Width="400"
                    Height="200px" ShowHtmlMode="false" ShowSubmitCancelButtons="false" ShowPreviewMode="false"
                         SaveInFile="False" OnClientLoad="OnStepsLoad"> 
                        
                    </rad:RadEditor>

i used  OnClientLoad="OnStepsLoad" to store a reference to the editor once it loaded

  var steps;
    function OnStepsLoad(editor) {

        steps = editor;
    }

Hi,

Which version have you used?
<rad:RadEditor...> looks to be older version...

New version uses <telerik:......>

Please correct me if wrong.
